CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Cleveland Browns had a solid defensive effort in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but the defense has to show it is good enough to play at a high level without one of its best players.

The Browns may also be without corner Sheldon Brown, who left last Sunday's game with a neck injury.

Either way, the Browns will play on the road Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have prime-time receiver A.J. Green.

Safety T.J. Ward said the team will miss Haden, but the solution is simple.

"We know what we have to do, someone has to fill in," said Ward on Monday evening at Harry Buffalo in Parma. "One of our other cornerbacks has to step up. That could be Buster Skrine, Dimitri Patterson or Trevin Wade. We have a good defense. We're all capable of stepping up. We have to rally around each other while Joe is out. We will, and we'll be OK."

After the game at Cincinnati, Haden will miss games against the Buffalo Bills, at Baltimore, and at the New York Giants. Haden can return to the team following the game against the Giants.
